Thread: Dual Voltage Perenties. Do you use the 24V side?

I have a 2000W pure sine wave inverter and a 24/12V DC/DC converter on mine.
I use it as the second battery when camping.

If your going to remove yours, I'd be interested in the generator.

driving inverters,fridges, lighting rradios and welding with.

On my SIII FFR I have an additional 12V dist box for accessories which means the 24V system only gets used for the green radios, which hardly ever get turned on. A waste of the 24V system and the batteries.

On this vehicle I'm considering getting a larger but now 12V-24V fridge but am wondering what others use their FFR/RFSV 24V system for?

Hi lotz-a- lands I am using my 24 volt system to run a hydrogen generator which I purchased from company in Western Australia but I am only using 2 batteries to give me 24 volts and I have fitted the gas generator on the left hand side were the other set of batteries where fitted, I have removed the electrical switch board that was fitted to the vehicle and draw power from the batteries, using the 24 volt alternator to charge the batteries, it has more than enough capacity to handle the requirements o the gas Generator .
That's one option for you .
Take care have a safe and merry Christmas

Are you insufflating the hydrogen over the diesel?

Diana, RFSV runs dual 12v with an isolator.
Only FFR is 24v on the radio side.

Pass me the Thesaurus please. Oh, I see, it's a medical term for blowing something into a body cavity. I'll keep that handy for another time.


insufflating


"In the 18th century, the Tobacco Smoke Enema, an insufflation of tobacco smoke into the rectum, was a common method of reviving drowning victims." WHO WAS THE BRIGHT SPARK WHO THOUGHT THIS MIGHT WORK?

Is it not also used in automotive terminology when you add LPG/CNG/Hydrogen over diesel fuel (usually about 25%:75%) to create a cleaner more efficient burning engine? (Otherwise called Diesel-Gas)

BTW: You should be using a dictionary or encyclopaedia, not a thesaurus!

I'd never heard the term before (and I'm sorry I looked it up ), but the addition of another fuel source to the diesel combustion cycle is common, either as a gas as you mention, or as a liquid additive to the diesel (ie Diesahol fuel, a blend of Diesel and Ethanol has been used in Sydney Buses to reduce emissions and enhance economy).


I think it has been shown conclusively that the energy required to generate the Hydrogen far exceeds the energy created in the more efficient burn, but it does have advantages in reducing emissions and oil contamination.
